CALL TO ACTION #776: Stop Human Rights Abuses at Our Border (October 9, 2019)



390 Days

Until the 2020 Election


STOP CRIMINAL HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES AT OUR BORDER 


A great deal of criminal behavior is happening at our southern border.  It is not being perpetrated by immigrants seeking refuge in this country, but rather by our government directed by Trump himself. 

Where’s Greg Walden?

Looking for another photo op.

The immigration policies of the Trump regime are crafted to make it almost impossible to obtain legal immigration and asylum in the US for those who are poor and brown. 

Human rights abuses make it dangerous to make the attempt.

A few of Trump’s policies and plans:

  • Collection of DNA samples without warrants or probable cause from all immigrants crossing the southern border for a criminal database
  • Deny visas to anyone unable to provide proof of health insurance 
  • Deny residency to anyone who ever used any public benefit 
  • Separate families and hold children in detention indefinitely in defiance of the Flores agreement
  • Deport refugees back to places where they face persecution and violence  
  • Force asylum seekers to wait in often dangerous conditions for months in Mexico without resources or access to counsel

Unless WE THE PEOPLE stop them, Trump’s illegitimate regime will continue to violate international and US asylum laws, and the US Constitution.  

Proceed with Impeachment!

Stop Human Rights Abuses! 


**ACTION ONE: CALL OUR SENATORS**

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR SENATORS MERKLEY AND WYDEN:

“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling . . .

. . . because Asylum is a human right.  I ask the Senator to continue to support asylum seekers.  I am also asking him to make sure there is an impeachment vote to help bring an end to the unlawful and abusive policies of Trump’s regime.

Thank you.

**ACTION TWO: CALL COMPLICIT GREG WALDEN**

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR WALDEN:

“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling . . .

. . . because Asylum is a human right.  Tell Greg Walden that I support asylum seekers and demand that he takes action to protect their rights.  I am also once again asking him to put country before party to make sure there is an impeachment vote to help bring an end to the unlawful and abusive policies of Trump’s regime. 

Through Greg’s actions and inactions — the silence is deafeninghe continues to signal that he fully supports Trump, regardless of how much damage Trump is doing to our democracy and to world stability. Know that we are still here, we will hold him accountable, we are working to flip his seat BLUE — #2020IsNow!

Thank you.”
